and Novelties In Dress.
The newest summer gloves are in dark
shades of bronze green stitched with
pale green, and old pink stitched with
white.
Courent cloth has crape-like weave.
and can be used by ladies in and out of
mourning; while armurc effects are
seen in the silk warp fcather-cloth,
which is very light, but not quite SO
delicate as the gypsy cloth.
Basques are cut very much longer
upon the hips than formerly, and Paris
ian bodies have an extremely long, sharp
point in front, and the edges are finished
with double cord. When they are
made in this way they hook, instead of
ibuttoning up the front, rs the point is
too sharp to admit of button holes.
There was shown in Broadway win-
dow wide white Leghorn trimmed
with huge bows of gold satin ribbon
three inches wide. The loops were half
! foot high, and the whole effect was
| much like the hats worn in $780, They
may be revived to wear with the NUT
| ton-leg sleeves now so fashionable.
Caps are little used by old ladies who
have abundant hair, but for morning
there are little round crown-caps of
null, with Oriental lace in two scantily-
gathered bows lying Hat on the head.
For dress caps, point dAlencon is
made up with fine net and narrow
moirc ribbon loops of white, pale blue,
mauve or Pompciian red.
Striped and colorcd lingeries are
fashionable again; some of the waist
coits of the basqucs are cut in a u like
the waistcoats of men, and show pleated
linen bosoms in which are set tiny pearl
studs. Cuffs are worn with all street
! dresses, and fastened by single but
ton, as the sleeves are too narrow to
admit of buttoning the cuffs with linked
studs.
A charming costume worn lately by
Mrs. Potter Palmer was of copper-col-
ored velvet, made almost perfectly
plain. The bonnet was of the same
velvet. with copper plumes and touch
of Charles X. pink in it. The wrap
was of copper passementeries, and the
only jewel she wore was pansy made
of diamond, set in petals of sapphires,
fastening the bonnet bow.
Pretty and expensive wedding dresses
are of white crepe de chine. These are
ivory white and made up over satin
trimmed with fringes of orange bios
SONS and many bows and loops of wide
ivory satin ribbon. These lend them
selves readily to the multitudinous dra
peries so fashionable, and have soft
clinging effect. The scintillating white
of the crepe with the dull white of tht
satin is very much admired.
A useful waist is OF velvet, to veal
with different skirts. A pretty one
was shown by French modiste OF dul
olive-green velvet, with pufled sleeve:
and fchu of pale-bluc Grape. The wais
was open at the throat and the tich,
crossed over the bust. Below the lef
breast was set on pale-blue moir'
ribbon five inches wide, that crossed
! over diagonally and fastened on th'
waist at the right, giving picturesque
short-waisted effect.
Gray hair is usually dressed with I
good deal of claborateness. The thre,
puffs on the side are still much liked fo
slender faces, and for women wh'
have pretty heads and the hair is still
! abundant it is parted, waved from tn
} forehead and wound in braided col
on the back of the head. not too ia
down on the nape of the neck. Th
, French twist and four loops on top o
the head, held in place by small shel
tucking combs, is extremely becomin;
to some.-N. Y World.
